Zeolite chemistry and catalysis are expected to play a decisive role in the next decade (s) to
build a more decentralized renewable feedstock-dependent sustainable society owing to the …

Methane monooxygenase (MMO) enzymes activate O 2 for oxidation of methane. Two
distinct MMOs exist in nature, a soluble form that uses a diiron active site (sMMO) and a …

Alkanes constitute the cheapest and most abundant feedstock for organic chemicals.
However, the redistribution of CsC and CsH bonds in hydrocarbons into more sophisticated …

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change and is
primarily regulated in Nature by methanotrophic bacteria, which consume methane gas as …

Abundant and inexpensive reserves of CH4, obtained from increased production of natural
gas, can effortlessly be incorporated into the current petrochemical infrastructure via the …

Methanotrophic bacteria are capable of using methane as their sole source of carbon and
energy. The first step in methane metabolism, the oxidation of methane to methanol, is …

Aerobic life is possible because the molecular structure of oxygen (O2) makes direct
reaction with most organic materials at ambient temperatures an exceptionally slow process …

Methanotrophs are bacteria that live on methane as their only source of carbon. 1 The first
step in their utilization of this simplest of all hydrocarbons is its selective conversion to …

Alfred Werner proposed nearly 100 years ago that the secondary coordination sphere has a
role in determining the physical properties of transition-metal complexes. We now know that …

As the main constituent of natural gas, alkanes are arguably Nature's most plentiful organic
base chemicals that are easily accessible. Chemists have long coveted the use of alkanes …
